This will probably be my shortest post. … In the determination of wood beam stability (lateral torsional buckling) with respect to bending about the X-X axis, use Ey min (not Ex min). The context here is structural glued laminated timber …

I continue to be mesmerized by this thing called `E min’. E min is the `minimum modulus of elasticity’ used in stability calculations in wood engineering design. E min (hereafter just Emin) is based on `regular’ modulus of elasticity, E. …
